ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
An amazing detective novel that combines a criminal investigation plot with one of the best-known episodes of the Spanish Civil War: the execution of the Thirteen Roses.
Madrid, 1977. Just when Sub-inspector Herrero joins the Homicide Division of the Criminal Investigation Unit, of the General Police Corp, he deals with the gruesome murder of a widow, owner of a jewelry store. Almost simultaneously, a retired man dies in a suspicious hit-and-run. These are but the first tragic deaths in a series of crimes that have only just begun. With the help of veteran Inspector Pineda, Sub-inspector Herrero will soon conclude that the killings are linked to an infamous episode of the Spanish Civil War: the execution of a group of women known as the Thirteen Roses, in 1939.
Iñaki Biggi revisits the genre that established him as a writer (with novels such as The Stradivarius Formula) in a new fast-pace detective story with constant intrigue that mixes criminal investigation with one of the best-known episodes of the Spanish Civil War: the execution of the Thirteen Roses.
